Commentary: Show Us The Fix
Dear Editor:
In response to your May 24
Please take the “Show Us the Fix” health insurance Challenge below!
If you as a Connecticut legislator feel confident there is no need for a health care public option, then you should feel confident accepting the “Show Us the Fix” health insurance challenge. Find a health insurance option for our small business and small non-profit that is affordable and actually meets the health care needs of our employees.
Background:
As leaders of a non-profit organization and small business respectively, we have been unsuccessful in finding quality, affordable health insurance for our employees. We were looking forward to the passage of Raised Bill 842, AN ACT CONCERNING HEALTH INSURANCE AND HEALTH CARE IN CONNECTICUT, as a possible solution, and were disappointed to learn that the proposal for a health care public option has been stripped from that bill.
